Pre-season[]

13Oct1951-Kennedy Elizabeth

Leafs Captain Ted Kennedy is presented to Princess Elizabeth by owner Conn Smythe, October 13, 1951.

On October 13, 1951, the Leafs played an afternoon pre-season versus the Chicago Blackhawks which was attended by her Highness, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. The Princess asked Conn Smythe many questions about hockey while the Prince enjoyed the bodychecking. No goals were scored before the royal couple had to depart. The Leafs then played their home opener that evening against the Hawks but not before unfurling their Stanley Cup banner.
